I believe you need GM mining, and then to read a book called 'Find glass-quality sand' sold by some NPC's in towns (for about 10k).
After that, you can mine sand at beaches. I don't recall if it's like mining granite, where you first have to single click your shovel and select 'ore and granite' (in this case ore and sand?).
